FilterFileToFile

The FilterFileToFile program filters an input file to an output file using Java API methods in Filter. It demonstrates the following functions:

  • filters an input file to an output file.
  • extracts the character set if it can be determined by the document reader.
  • extracts file format information (document type, format, version, and so on) if available in the source document.
  • extracts metadata if available in the source document. This program extracts all the metadata from the document, but only displays the first element of metadata.
